Top aides and close associates of Vice President Kamala Harris are divided over whether she should return to California to run for governor in 2026. The decision hinges on her chances of securing the Democratic nomination for president in the anticipated competitive primary in 2028.
Some believe that Harris, after a successful 100-day race that boosted her reputation and raised over $1 billion, should have a clear path to a repeat presidential run. However, others express concerns that in a more extended campaign against established Democratic contenders, she might falter and face rejection by her own party.
